Forced War Loans.

When Gen. Martinez of Mexico was
fighting against Macmillan he and his
soldiers were in the habit of taking
what they wanted from the people,
even going so far as to levy on the
treasures of the churches. One day
the sacristan of certain church found
two of the soldiers from the army OF
Martinez on their knees before the altar
of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The shrine
was covered with coins and jewels,
placed there by devotees on Offering up
prayers for the safety of the absent
ones, or in gratitude for delivermce
from some peril. And one of the
"Macheteros" was praying like this:
"My dear, holy lady! I'm q poor
boy. I've been in the army year, and
/ haven't made anything so far. I've a
very poor family. They may be starv-
ing. I'm obliged to take some of these
precious things. If / have good luck
in robbing some other place I'll return
these"
So saying he arose from his knees and
coolly swept the shrine of its valuables.

Kansas Produces Nothing But Wonders.

Kansas Produces Nothing But Wonders.
just now South Central Kansas is all ex-
element about inland sea bathing in the
Salt Lake near Geuda Springs, Kansas. It
Is said to be the only inland salt lake in the
United States except the one in Utah, and is
pronounced by medical experts to contain
properties that make it much superior to
surf bathing.
The springs at that place are also one of
the strange natural curiosities of this CONT
nent, being seven In number and each diff
ferent In mineral constituents, and are all
situated within space of thirty feet square.
complete analysis of these springs has
never been made, but the excitement caused
by the cure OF several cases supposed kere-
totoTe 70 be iuc:rable, and notably one of
them being A0dison's disease, for which, it
IS said by medical works, there is no cure,
has caused the corporation who have recent
ly purchased the springs to employ Prof. E.
h. S. Bailey, Professor of Chemistry, Me-
tallurgy and Mineralogy, in the Kansas State
University, one of the most eminent Chem
lists In this country, to make a critical guam
tltatlve analysis in order to determine each
mineral ingredient and the amount of it,
contained in these mineral waters, and as
soon as completed it will be made public.
In the meantime, the Geuda Mineral Springs
Company, of the town by that name, is be-
ing flooded with inquiries from every state
in the Union, and it now looks as if Saratoga
and other prominent resorts are to be for
gotten in the excitement over this new Kan
sas wonder.

Hints for Housefeepers.

INDIAN meal should be purchased in
small quantities and kept covered.
WHITING or ammonia in the water is
preferable to soap for cleaning windows or
paint.
SALT sprinkled over anything that is
burning on the stove will prevent any dis
agreeable odor.
A VEGETABLE acid, such as lemon juice
or cider, is said to be a sure specific for
most cases of scarlet fever.
PICKLES should never be kept in glazed
ware, as the vinegar forms poisonous
compound with the glazing.
NEVER scratch the ears with anything
but the finger if they itch. Do not use the
head of pin, hairpins, pencil tips or any
thing Of that nature.
KEEP all the apparatus for cleaning
lamps on an old tray, and never use rags,
brushes, scissors or any of the articles for
any other purpose than trimming lamps.
A MIXTURE which is said to be cure
for undue perspiration of the hands is
made of quarter of an ounce of powdered
alum, the white of one egg, end enough
bran to make thick paste. after wash
ing the hands apply this; let it remain on
the hands two or three minutes and then
wipe off with dry, soft towel. Luke
warm water is better than hot or cold If
he skin is tender or inclined to chap.

Scotch Cure for WhOOping. Cough.

Old Scottish people, or those con-
versant with the superstitions and GUS
toms OF the country, are well aware of
the efficacy of the cure which the ass
was supposed to have wrought in the
case of the whooping-cough, and the
following incidents will be read with in
terest: One afternoon recently a
curious display of superstition occurred
at Maryhill, within view of the police
Office. Measels and whooping- cough
are prevalent among children in the
burg at present, and travelling candy
man and rag gatherer, with cart
drawn by an ass, drew up in front Of a
row of houses known as "Pirrat's row."
little off of the highway. Two chill
dren living in the quarter are afflicted
with whooping-cough. It has not
transpired what compensation the pro-
prietor of the ass received for the SUI
perstitious use of it, in the belief that
it would cure the children of the cough,
but after a short conversation the
mothers of the children took up po-
sition on each side of the ass. One
woman then took up position on each
side of the ass. One women then took
one of the children and passed it
through below the ass belly to the
other women, the chi1ds face being to-
ward the ground. The woman on the
other side caught hold of the child, and
giving it gentle somersault, handed
it back to the other woman over the
ass, the child's head being turned to-
ward the skv. The process having
been repeated three times, the child
was taken away to the house, and then
the second child was similarly treated.
While this was going on two other
children were quickly brought to un-
dergo the magical cure. In order that
the operation may have its due effect
the ass must not be forgotten, and at
the close of the ceremony each mother
must carry her child to the head of the
animal and allow it to eat something,
such IS bread or biscuits, out of the
child's lap. This proceeding having
been performed in turn by the four
mothers, the prescribed course was
concluded. When it began there were
not many people present, but before it
was finished quite crowd of specta-
tors had gathered. From inquiries
made afterward, it seems the mothers
are Thoroughly satisfied that their chill
dren are the better of the enchantment.

Hosg Pretty Gsrls Are Made Ugly.

Three young girls of about 16, whose
gowns show quite good taste, and whose
faces tell of pleasant tempers and MIN.
BILE minds, are in a parlor together,
alone. One is reading aloud. Her
voice is sweet and unaffected. She
stops now and then, while the three
discuss the book or their work, with
much joking or laughter.
They are clever, but tender and wo-
manly. They are totally unconscious
of themselves; their tones are low and
sincere; there can be no doubt you are
in the company of gentle-women.
Suddenly, presto! all is changed. A
caller is announced. One of the young
ladies stifens herself. pinches in her
lips. and speaks in mincing monosy La
bles. Another gurgles and giggles,
bushes, and losses her chin upward ;
she lisps her words with an absurd
sweetness of voice and chances.
The third suddenly becomes very
swashbuckler of a young woman. Hith-
erto she has spoken English; now she
falls into an unknown dialect.
"How is your mother, Jennie?" she
is asked by the visitor.
ooh, top!"
II heard your brother had gone to
New York"
"Oh, that was fake. He was badly
punished at football and is lying low
to fetch up"
"You seem to know all that's going
on"
ooh, yes; I'm fly"
One of her companions at this puts
Oh an air of offended propriety, and
shakes her head with stern reprobation.
The other giggles, and drops her head
on her breast affectedly.
What can have changed these simple,
pleasant girls into puppets? Can it be
the advent of single youth, ringed
and chained, and with faint down
upon his upper lip, to which is given
all the attention his little mind is
capable of giving?
Is it possible that any men prefer
these simpering, prim, dash-away styles
in women, which are sometimes so ex-
aggerated in silly girls that their man
ner might beft slaves drawn up in the
market. and trying to attract buyer?
So forced and unnatural is the con-
duct of some of our American girls,
when possible sutton is present, that
nothing of their true selves is seen
through it. They might as we'll be

and covering that makes the public
